Dunwoody waives business tax penalties during emergency By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — In a unanimous move April 13, the Dunwoody City Council voted to waive any penalties or interest related to occupational taxes and business licenses until the coronavirus crisis has passed. Occupational taxes are ordinarily due on Jan. 1 of each year, with penalties accruing after April 15, Finance Director Linda Nabers explained. “That date is approaching,” Nabers said. “We are recommending that those penalties and interests are waived until the emergency is over.” Following a suggestion from Mayor Lynn Deutsch, those penalties will not be enforced until 90 days after the state of emergency is lifted.
“If we have businesses that literally have not been operating or that have been operating at a much lower rate than normal, it seems to me that we would need to give them time and extend it beyond the emergency,” Deutsch said. The city has also waived the requirements for a notary on renewal applications for occupational tax and business licenses. Business owners will need to follow up with a notarized application after the emergency has lapsed. At the same virtual meeting, the council made an adjustment to the 2019 budget. Though the fiscal year ended December 21, 2019, final changes needed to be made to end the year with a balanced budget, Nabers said. The adjustments totaled $1.8 million. The largest change came from grants the city received from the state to cover trans-
portation projects, about $1.1 million in additional revenue and expenditures. The council unanimously declared a state of emergency March 18. Under the provisions of the city emergency act, essential services like police and public safety continue, but much of the city’s normal business is on hold or is being conducted online only. Under the state of emergency, the City Council may continue to conduct meetings via public teleconference, but business is limited to policymaking directly related to COVID-19, public health and safety or fiscal operations. Long-term planning, zoning, policymaking unrelated to public health, presentations and proclamations have been suspended until the city is no longer in a state of emergency. City boards, like the Planning Commission or Sustainability
Committee, are not meeting. All matters requiring a public hearing are on hold. Any permits currently in effect that require a public hearing for renewal or extension, such as an alcohol permit, will not lapse and will be extended until public hearings are resumed. The city closed City Hall to the public March 14. Non-essential staff are working remotely. Check the city’s website, dunwoodyga.gov, for a full run down of how government operations have been impacted. “Obviously the measures we’re taking to slow and stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus are things that none of us could have imagined even just a few months ago,” Councilman Tom Lambert said. Lambert gave a shout out to high school seniors and said the city is working for a way to celebrate those soon-to-be graduates.

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com NORTH METRO ATLANTA — The Hedington Square neighborhood in Roswell is quite the social community, with a 4th of July parade, spring flings, ice cream socials and other ways to bring neighbors together. That has not changed during the pandemic, the approach has just been different. For kids, resident Marian Andeweg has set up “hunts” that get kids out of the house. The recent bear hunt had kids walk with their parents around the neighborhood in separate groups from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. looking for colored paper bears set up in the neighborhood. Smaller kids got to locate the larger bears while the older kids had to find smaller ones with matched with letters, eventually spelling out “safe bear hunting.” “Since it’s spread out, they rarely run into each other, and if they do there’s plenty of room to go around,” Andeweg said. “There’s no need to touch anything. It takes about an hour to 90 minutes to get through the entire neighborhood while doing the tasks. Adults without children learned about it too, and even though it’s kids-level, some adults without children are doing them too, now. It’s great fun.” Neighbors also participated in “yoga bingo.” Everyone received a card to print out at home, and they had to find and complete the various poses listed throughout the neighborhood. There was also an Easter trivia hunt on April 11 in which young kids tracked down Easter plates and older kids solved the questions on the back of the plate. The fun isn’t just for the adults. Neighbors are getting together in small groups, while maintaining social distancing, to enjoy food, drink, and the now seemingly rare face-to-face interac-
tion with others, even if it is done several feet apart. Andeweg said everyone stays around 10 feet from one another and food and drinks are not shared. “We try to limit it at 10 [people], and sometimes people leave to make room for others,” Andeweg said. The tight-knit community has been “strong” during the pandemic, Andeweg said, and everyone is keeping an eye out for each other. Like many, the life of Alpharetta’s Rob Johns has gone digital. Johns retired four years ago and said the pandemic has brought back something he does not miss from his 35 years working in corporate America — conference calls. Johns has devoted his time to several efforts in his retirement, and nearly all have been impacted in some way by COVID-19. Johns volunteers as the director of outreach for BH Technology, a North Fulton based organization that assist seniors in using new technology. Johns taught classes at senior living centers or adult recreation centers, but those classes have all been cancelled and have gone all digital. Family time has also gone virtual. Johns has four grandchildren and he said there has been many more FaceTime calls to keep in touch with his grandchildren. Instead of a weekly dinner, Johns and his family are holding Zoom calls. A self-described car enthusiast, Johns is a car show frequenter with his unique 2003 BMW Z8. However, even car shows are either being cancelled or going digital. Two events Johns was planning to attend asked him for photos of his Z8 for a “digital car show.” He also runs a wedding car service with his 1941 Cadillac. “All spring weddings have either been cancelled or rescheduled for the fall,” Johns said. “The future of my vintage wedding car service may be in question.”

Spruill is working to bring the Center’s gallery into the fold with plans to feature discussions with the artists and studio tours. The idea is to allow artists to provide a glimpse into what is going on in their studio, said Spruill Center for the Arts CEO Alan Mothner. “It’s to ensure those who may be missing the gallery and being part of that are still connected,” Mothner said. “Kind of like a video tour sort of, an intimate look behind the artist.” Mothner said staying connected with art at this time is important for the community, contributing to overall mental health. “Their mental health is paramount to getting through this,” he said. “We’re just trying to do what we can.” The Spruill Center for the Arts is also moving into a new phase in its partnership with the City of Dunwoody to brighten up the plaza between the center and the Dunwoody branch of the DeKalb County Library. Dunwoody Parks Director Brent Walker has solicited submissions from the community for a simple and creative way to paint the steps and concrete in the plaza with a design or easily executed mural. The entry deadline ended Friday, and Mothner said he’s impressed with the entries. “First of all, I’m really impressed with the Photoshop skills of some of the people out there,” he said, laughing. “I thought it was going to be like drawn on with a marker or crayon or a verbal description, but somebody superimposed this crazy rendering on it. It’s been great.” The winning entry will receive a $100 Visa gift card.

Pandemic weighs on local real estate market Full impact of shutdowns has yet to be determined By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com NORTH METRO ATLANTA — Some data already shows the coronavirus pandemic has impacted the residential real estate market in north Metro Atlanta, but it will be a while before a more clear picture comes into focus. That’s the word from Loredana Ghete of Keller Williams North Atlanta. Ghete said most of the houses closing now went under contract before the pandemic had a strong foothold in the state, so the upcoming weeks and months could better reveal a downturn or increase in listings and closings. “We are seeing a little bit of a slowdown in the number of transactions, but at the same time, what is closing right now is a result of actions taken a month or 50 days ago,” Ghete said. “No one has lived through a pandemic, so we don’t know what is the economic impact, and it is hard to say what it is or will be because of the uncertainty.” Ghete said Metro Atlanta still has a 2.9-month supply of homes — a calculation depicting how many months it would take for all the current homes on the market to sell. A six-month supply is healthy, so Ghete said the metro area remains a seller’s market. While homes spent more days on the market in March year over year, Ghete said the number of listings in metro Atlanta were 950 in the first week of March and had jumped to nearly 1,300 by the final week of the month. Along with those figures, the number of withdrawn listings also increased, she said.
Many lenders are quoting rates around 3.5 percent for a 30-year fixed home loan. Donna Murphy of Atlanta Fine Homes said this is a slight decrease from a month ago, but it is a stable figure. “In this situation, we would typically see an increase demand for homes,” Murphy said. “However, with the current shelter-in-place guidelines, people are staying home, and we are experiencing a temporary downtick on certain aspects of our businesses, like showings.” Mortgage qualification guidelines have also been squeezed. Debt to asset ratios have been capped at 45 percent and credit score requirements have jumped from 580 to 640, depending on the lender, Murphy said. “This, unfortunately, can affect the buying power of our clients,” she said. An April 9 report from the Mortgage Bankers Association showed the Mortgage Credit Availability Index had dropped 16.1 percent in March, putting credit supply at its lowest level since June 2015. There is some good news for sellers, though. Murphy said the pandemic has not impacted local home values. Charlcie Forehand of Atlanta Fine Homes in Alpharetta said there are still plenty of buyers and sellers. “Mortgage interest rates have begun to stabilize and are still at historic lows, making it a great time to purchase a home,” Forehand said. “Inventory is very low, which makes it a great time for sellers to list their homes.” The full-scale impact of the pandemic on the real estate market is yet to be determined, but many agents are confident the market will bounce back if there is a significant downturn. How much time that will take is still a question mark.

We have a pentup demand for housing right now, so we expect summer to be very busy.” CHARLCIE FOREHAND Atlanta Fine Homes
Murphy of Atlanta Fine Homes said she expects the pandemic will only cause a temporary impact to sales. Forehand said business may have slowed, but the market is still active. She expects a rebound in the coming months. “We have a pent-up demand for housing right now, so we expect summer to be very busy,” Forehand said. Ghete of Keller Williams expects sales to decrease though May but to begin recovering by June and to be back on track by September. “But it is going to recover gradually, it is not going to be instant,” she said. In the meantime, real estate agents are having to change their approach in what is a mostly face-to-face market. Atlanta Fine Homes is using the guidelines set out by the Georgia Association of Realtors for showings amid the pandemic. That includes using virtual showings and open houses whenever possible. For in-person showings, social
distancing must still be maintained along with sanitization efforts throughout the home, before and after open houses. The guidelines also state at least 45 minutes should be scheduled between all showings. Keller Williams also holds real estate classes, and Ghete said all have gone digital. The company’s agents are also encouraged to work from home and hold virtual tours whenever possible. The closing process has also changed for some. Roswell-based real estate attorney group Cook & James are offering “curbside closings.” Buyers drive up to either the Roswell or Woodstock office and sign closing paperwork in their own cars. Cook & James personnel wear masks and gloves and stay outside at distance to oversee the closing. On April 6, the Georgia Real Estate Commission and Appraisers Board announced estate realtor testing and licensing has been put on hold indefinitely. No exams are being given and no licensing can occur, the release said.

Cancellation of sports season hinders recruitment process By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com NORTH METRO ATLANTA — North Metro Atlanta is a hotbed of talent for high school springs sport athletes who go on to compete collegiately, but the cancellation of the GHSA season has thrown a wrench into recruitment. Now, coaches are trying to find ways to highlight their players who have collegiate potential after missing out on nearly an entire season. Shawn Oliver, head baseball coach at Fellowship Christian School, had 13 juniors on his squad this year, and he says around half are college baseball prospects. The cancellation of the season cuts out a vital time in the recruiting process, though, he said. “The junior summer season is so important for a baseball player,” Oliver said. “It is such a valuable development time with us, and they can really honein their skillset and showcase it in the summer. We are trying to think of ways to help these guys get looked at.” Oliver said the college fall ball schedule keeps recruitment to a minimum, which adds to the importance of summer play. “Summer is so important for college coaches because they can go to Lakepoint [Sports Complex] or Perfect Game to watch so many players at one time,” he said. With the spring GHSA season a no-go and the summer season still in question, Oliver is preparing his kids to be active in their own recruitment process. That includes having players reach out directly to coaches and conduct their own due diligence on a school and its baseball program. “We are getting them to do their

One player was offered a scholarship based solely on film, Oliver said. Blessed Trinity baseball head coach Andy Harlin said the cancellation of the season could have impacts for years to come. “This is going to affect everybody from the top down,” Harlin said. “From the MLB to minor leagues to colleges, they don’t know what their rosters are going to look like.” Some collegiate players will declare for the MLB draft, while some seniors may return with the NCAA granting senior athletes who play a spring sport an added year of eligibility. Many teams do not have a firm grasp on what players they should be recruiting to fill gaps. “They don’t know their roster, and I think that will trickle down for a couple of years,” Harlin said. Like coach Oliver at Fellowship, Harlin is instructing his players to reach out to colleges for recruitment. He is also compiling film to send to recruiters. “Nobody knows if they will be playing at this summer, so there is a question of seeing [players] on the field,” Harlin said. “But for the underclassmen, we can shoot out film to schools. They can then get an idea of a guy based on video and either put him on their board or decide he’s not a good fit.” With schools shut down and baseball seasons cancelled across the country, there is one consistent factor. “Everybody is in the same boat and trying to make the best of it how they can,” Harlin said. loves other dogs and is super affectionate with people he knows.

THE INVESTMENT COACH
Understanding the SECURE Act of 2019 Congressional bill writers love acronyms, which make obtuse legalese sound sexy. Witness the SECURE Act of 2019, “Setting Every Community Up Retirement EnLEWIS J. WALKER, CFP of hancement Act.” With 29 provisions, the text is more “ponderous” than “sexy.” With SECURE Act changes, many of you should review, potentially revise, your retirement plans. While consulting your advisor is recommended, in this brief column we highlight some of the more impactful provisions for individuals. A key change is the age when Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) for Qualified IRAs begin, moving from age 70 ½ to 72. The change doesn’t apply to those already 70 ½ or older by 12/31/2019. Also, the IRS proposes
updating life expectancy tables by 2021, which will change the calculation of your yearly RMD amount. Congress was concerned about increasing life expectancies and data indicating Americans were not saving enough toward financial independence. Per a 2018 Northwestern Mutual Life survey, 20 percent of Americans have no retirement savings at all, while a third of those nearing retirement have saved less than $25,000. This advisor recommends $1 to $1.5 million in today’s dollars as a minimum target. Of a $1 million nest egg, if you withdraw money at a 5 percent annual rate to run your life, that’s $50,000, $4,167 per month gross, or $3,334 at an average tax bracket of 20 percent; $3,542 at 15 percent. To this number add Social Security, net of deductions for taxes and Medicare insurance premiums. How does that square with your envisioned lifestyle, family and survivor needs, health status, longevity assumptions? You could get by on less

So Real, It’s Like You’re There
but is “less” a good planning objective? One change benefits those who work past age 70 ½. Previously, a person older than 70 ½ could not contribute to a traditional IRA. Now you may contribute to an IRA at any age if you have earned compensation. But, illustrating the adage that “the government giveth and the government taketh away,” lifetime stretch IRAs are gone, with a few exceptions. Once a viable strategy for adding to retirement security for non-spousal beneficiaries like children or grandchildren, the Act requires inherited IRA and defined contribution account assets to be withdrawn within 10 years and taxes paid. Exceptions include a spouse, disabled or chronically ill persons (with strict criteria), and persons not more than 10 years younger than the IRA owner, generally siblings around the same age. A child of the deceased (but not grandchildren) who hasn’t reached the age of majority will be able to stretch until the age of majority, with the remainder then subject to a 10-year distribution. Tax-planning will be important. Does one take it out each year for 10 years, in select years, or all at once in year 10? That depends on growth assumptions and assumed yearly tax brackets going forward. Situations where IRA monies are directed to a trust may need legal review so as to not conflict with the 10-year distribution rule. Jamie Hopkins, finance professor at Omaha’s Creighton University, writing in the February, 2020, Journal of Financial Planning, reinforces the idea of using life insurance as a “tax-advantaged way to pass legacy.” Says he, “It might make sense for many individuals to purchase life insurance as the primary legacy tool or to use life insurance death benefits, which can be received income- and estate-tax free, to offset the higher taxes associated with a 10-year distribution period.” Higher tax-bracket individuals generally will want to delay IRA withdrawals
until at least 72, and then take only the RMD, no more. Using life insurance cash value loans to provide tax-fee cash flow prior to age 72 and as a supplement thereafter, could make sense. If you have cash value life insurance policies in force they should be reviewed as to current performance, viability given current objectives, and strategies related to SECURE Act changes. The Act allows penalty-free withdrawals up to $5,000 from retirement plans for the birth or adoption of a child, and penalty-free withdrawals up to $10,000 from 529 education savings plans for repayment of certain student loans. Are these withdrawals wise? It depends on your long-term objectives, alternative uses of capital, and the long-term impact of money no longer in an account to grow and compound. The SECURE Act allows the inclusion of annuities in 401(k) plans, and insurance companies are gearing up to provide products. Annuities are complex contacts that must be understood relative to your personal circumstances and big picture. Many firms provide participants with a list of plan investment options to choose from with little or no guidance. Work with a trusted advisor who can integrate all aspects of a retirement savings plan into a cohesive strategy. True retirement security and financial independence is up to you. The SECURE Act merely adds choices, new rules, and complexity. Lewis Walker, CFP®, is a financial life planning strategist at Capital Insight Group; 770-441-3553;lewis@lewwalker. com.

Who knew there were “Many older couples [who] face friction over difficult decisions: where to live, where to go, what to throw KATHY out, how to spend MANOS PENN money, what information to share.” I do have one pair of friends for whom that friction exists, but only the one, so I was surprised to see the word “many.” I worked for a big bank when I married 20 years ago, and I set up all our accounts and wound up paying the bills and managing the money, especially after the advent of online banking. Sure, my husband keeps a separate checking and savings account at his credit union as he always has, but we freely share all that information back and forth. Thankfully, he trusts me to handle the rest of our funds. When he suggests taking a cruise or another big vacation (you remember what those are, right?), he leaves it to me to make an informed decision as to whether we should or shouldn’t. I give him a brief overview of our finances and my recommendation about what to do, and that’s always good enough for him. I’m not sure how I’d handle it if he were the type to secondguess me. I guess it helps, that I’ve never yet said, “Have you lost your mind? No, we can’t afford to do that.” More often, I know enough about where we stand that I can render a quick decision — typically “Yes, let’s go.” As for sharing information, we both know what we have and how to access it. I’ve always been horrified by the stories I’ve heard of wives who lose their husbands and have no idea about their finances. I saw what my mom went through when my dad died at age 51, back in the ’80s. Even though she knew a fair amount about their finances, she still needed help to sort things out. Perhaps that’s one reason my husband and I have worked to keep each other informed. Where to live? We spent years toying with the idea of moving out West because my husband had always wanted to live in Colorado. We scanned the internet looking at property but never got very serious about it — mostly because our families are here, and it just didn’t seem realistic. Years ago, we bought property in the mountains with plans to retire there. We even went so far as to work with a builder
Are these decisions easy for us because we’re both so agreeable? Or because we’re so much alike in our thinking? on designing the home. Because I worked from home and my husband was already retired, we decided we’d go ahead and move — until we changed our minds. I noticed him talking about missing his friends and activities here, so before pulling the trigger on starting the house, I asked, “Do you really want to do this?” When he said no, that was that. Is anyone interested in a piece of property on a trout stream in Young Harris? Everything else is easy. Typically inspired by me, we regularly purge household items and make trips to Furkids and Goodwill. We’ve remodeled the house several times, and those decisions have always been pretty easy. Several times, we’ve debated moving to a smaller home, but after much back and forth and research, we always wind up deciding to stay put. Much of the recent remodeling has been to make the house more accessible as we age. I know one day we’ll have to make a tough decision, but I anticipate we’ll do that as we usually do — by weighing the pros and cons. Are these decisions easy for us because we’re both so agreeable? Or because we’re so much alike in our thinking? Or maybe we just haven’t stumbled across anything we vehemently disagree on. Hopefully, at this stage, that’s not a situation that will occur.

To the class of 2020: I am sure you have already heard, ad nauseam, from teachers, parents and others that the closing of schools for the remainder of the academic year and JOE PARKER the cancellations of Editor all after-school activijoe@appenmediagroup.com ties is a life lesson. You have undoubtedly been told that this can prepare you for the “real world,” in which situations arise far beyond our control and we must learn to adapt. It has probably crossed your ears that this should serve as reminder to never take things for granted. Maybe it has been said to you that this situation can help outline all the positives in your life. While I believe all these things to be true, I am not going to be another voice telling you what you have already heard. That is because like those who have likely uttered these sentences to you, I am not going through what you are. My senior year has not been cut short, my prom has not been cancelled, my last season playing baseball has not been nixed, and my chance to walk across the stage and receive my diploma surrounded by some of the best friends I will ever have has not been stolen from me. Those experiences have been taken from you, and through absolutely no fault of your own. It is unfortunate, it is heartbreaking, it is frustrating. For lack of a better term, it sucks, and it is an aching that will not be cured by what others tell you. But I do hope that in time you will understand these events and potential
memories were taken from you for the greater good. I hate that you will be robbed of the culmination of four years of high school and over a dozen years of formal education, but the country, and world, are safer as a result. That may not be a consolation you are ready to field right now, and I understand. This is unfair. But it has made the class of 2020 perhaps the most unique graduating class in our lifetime. You are a class forever etched into the consciousness of all, and a graduating class that has been unified nationally. You will be stronger as a result of all of this. That is something else you have probably heard from parents and teachers. They are not wrong, but it is okay if you don’t want to think about that right now. You have been asked to mature more than anyone could reasonably expect in just a matter of weeks, and it is not an easy situation to handle with a stiff upper lip. But know that all those doling out their take on how you will come out of this more resilient are saying so because they do believe it to be true, and they are saying it because they care about you. Our heartache is nowhere near the same league as yours, but we all feel for you.
OPINION
8 | April 23, 2020 | Dunwoody Crier | TheCrier.net
What’s going on these days at Appen A snapshot of local news during a pandemic This is an interesting time for all, including those of us in the newspaper business. COVID-19 has become the center of the universe in terms of “news.” Early in the pandemic I suggested to RAY APPEN the news staff that Publisher Emeritus we needed to drop all ray@appenmediagroup.com our beats — school, sports and government because this pandemic was going to make all that other stuff irrelevant. In many ways I was right. And in other ways, I couldn’t have been more wrong. At Appen we have been, like most other local businesses, trying to adapt. Every day at the paper we are like a quarterback calling audibles at the line of scrimmage — audibles and then audibles on top of audibles to adjust to conditions that seem to change by the hour — like a blitz we know is coming every single play. The blitz consumes our attention, yet
in the midst of all that sound and fury, we are tasked with not neglecting “everything else,” such as our people — how our newspaper delivery folks are holding up, how families of staff are managing, what our advertisers are thinking and needing, and who has school-aged children at home. At the same time, we must contemplate what we should be doing on the business side now, as well as what our business needs will look like when this crisis is over. The list goes on, but you get the idea. So here is a snapshot of how Appen Media is functioning during a pandemic to cover your local news. Delivery We continue to home-deliver over 90,000 newspapers every week. As a group, Appen’s carriers have been amazing, dealing with all the disruption with their families and lives and still getting their jobs done. We gave them letters to carry in their glove boxes. Papers stating that according to Gov. Brian Kemp and the Department of Homeland Security, they are “critical infrastructure industry employees.” We gave them big magnets that adhere to the sides of their cars identifying them as such.
Newsroom Managing Editor Pat Fox has taken on the heavy responsibility of making everything work, of prioritizing newsroom hours in order to focus on the most important stories and then getting those into the papers. Pat’s task has been to stay focused and to keep a level head so as not to be overwhelmed by it all and still put one news foot in front of the other. Publisher Hans Appen and Carl Appen Hans Appen has been running our company for quite some time — not me. He is the one doing the heavy lifting now and is the driving force and soul of the company. Hans’ primary focus has been on taking care of his people — our staff — and the business side of our company — in that order. Hans and the advertising staff continue to collaborate with our partners, finding innovative ways to respond to COVID-19. We are in unchartered waters, and it takes creativity and courage to find new ways for businesses to weather this storm, together. Carl Appen, Hans’ younger brother, graduated from the University of Oklahoma in the spring of 2019 and immediately came home to work full time in

the family business. He has been Hans’ main go-to in maneuvering throughout this crisis. Carl is wearing more and more hats — circulation, sales, digital and audience engagement. Our longterm innovation strategy is dependent on his new ideas. He works about 15 hours a day, 6 or 7 days a week so that you receive the best local news possible. Visit northfulton.com/coronavirus to see one of his recent projects. It’s his presentation of our COVID-19 coverage and has already received impressive industry recognition from our peers. So, I suggested that COVID-19 was going to make all the “usual” local news coverage irrelevant. But I also said that might not be true. And it’s not. That is because my one takeaway from this crisis is that it has directed a powerful spotlight on our humanity, or as Lincoln said, “the better Angels of our nature.” Our response to this crisis — not the crisis itself — may be the bigger, more important story. Because of that I believe everything is going to be OK. We’re going to get through this, together. We just need to stay focused, work hard, and believe in ourselves and in each other.
